Acer Aspire 9410

There's plenty to appreciate here, though: the Aspire has a good helping of hard disk space and enough performance to comfortably use it as your main PC. Acer also clearly has the knack of building good-looking and well-made machines; in spite of those build quality niggles, the 9410 will survive everyday treatment. The Aspire therefore makes an excellent alternative choice to the A-Listed Dell Inspiron 6400, which is cheaper but can't match the Acer's specifications.
